This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) was awarded by the Goddard Space Flight Center, a civilian agency of the U.S. federal government, to the small business prime contractor Maryland Q.C. Laboratories, Inc. The BPA has a total small business set-aside and facilitates the issuance of task orders to procure fabrication services and supplies to support the development of instruments, space flight hardware, and non-spaceflight hardware for various NASA project missions.

The contracted services include the fabrication of close-tolerance aerospace parts and components in materials such as aluminum, titanium, high-strength steel, and composites, per industry engineering drawings and aerospace standards. The work is performed at the vendor's facility in Aberdeen, Maryland. Two task orders have been issued under the BPA with a total ceiling value of $26,437.98 and a period of performance through May 14, 2020. The BPA and associated task orders facilitate the acquisition of critical manufacturing capabilities to support NASA's research and development requirements across multiple project missions.

Small business set-aside, 63 offers place of performance: vendor site fabrication of commercial services and supplies for goddard space flight center the advanced manufacturing branch (AMB) is responsible for maintaining a complete manufacturing facility to meet the center's research and development requirements and assist in the fabrication of hardware requirements from multiple NASA project missions. This facility includes conventional machining equipment, numerically controlled (NC) machining centers, sheet metal and welding fabrication equipment and remotely located staff shops. Vendors shall provide fabrication services and supplies to the manufacturing engineering group in their respective areas of expertise for the development of instruments and space flight and non-spaceflight hardware interchangeable piece parts. Vendors will manufacture per engineering drawings with aerospace industry tolerances and provide fabrication capabilities in accordance with the statement of work. To fabricate close tolerance aerospace instruments and space flight grade parts, in various materials such as (but not limited to) aluminum, titanium, high strength steel and nickel alloy, engineering plastics, and composites based on industry engineering drawings, provided in electronic format, to industry standard tolerances and specifications. Parts may range in complexity from very simple to very complex, with quantities. Each discipline is further divided into subcategories based on the expected size of fabricated parts. The fabrications of products or services proposed as "spaceflight" are required to be, ISO 900I or AS9100 complaint, items proposed as "non-flight" will not require respondents to be ISO 9001 or AS9100 compliant. Offers shall indicate if they are ISO 9001 or AS9100 complaint and provide supporting documentation.
